Win7PE is a small project but powerful reincarnated Live CD from Windows 7 Operating System kernel core. It is obviously built by Winbuilder engine and set of Winbuilder-scripts like some other projects VistaPE and LiveXP. The difference from WinPE 3.0 is that it has graphical user interface and many more powerful functions. It can be added more drivers (Wireless, Wifi, ect) and many other preinstalled-software. Like Windows preinstallation Environment 3.0, it is running in RAM, so it has the fastest activities in current Operating System Environment for System Administrators.

1. Because of running in RAM, boot media can be removed after loading.2. Support ATA, SATA, RAID, SCSI.3. Read/Write support on FAT, FAT32, NTFS, Ext2, Ext3.4. Support Networking. (lots of NIC drivers are build-in included so no worry for common drivers-installation.5. Can extend to several functions (like Audio, Video)6. Support access to any Windows version (DOS to Windows 7) and Linux. Besides, you can access through Apple MACs by Mediafour MacDrive preinstalled. 7. Main shell as Windows 7 explorer, so no worry to folders and file-management.8. In addition, it has BSexplorer and QDir small shells included for especially urgent Admins.

Multiple PEs

In this NEW version I have made a new designed for multiple PEs.Multiple PEs includes 1. Vista SP-0, 1, 2 for 32 & 64bit2. Windows server 2k8 SP-0 0,1,2 for 32bit & 64bit3. Windows 7 for 32bit & 64bit

Windows Explorer shell is supported for all above versions.

In this version, you do not need to worry about any version of Windows DVD means if you have dual version of DVD or single version of DVD.Dual version of DVD defines in some cases there are dual versions of Vista(32bit+64bits) or Windows 7(32bits+64bits).Any of above dual version of DVD, project will create only 32bits and not supported yet for individual version select at the moment.

There are many Error check functions in every single of projects such as Tools folder check, explorer shell check, Mount error check and Version check.

I would like to remind you that about applications if you are building 64bit version. Because there are very limited programs supported 64bits. It has just only intended for some advanced users who are developing 64bit environments. In the other hand, from 64 bit PE does not support 32bit programs like in real 64bit installed machine.

And the background image is supported in all versions and you can change any bmp image within the script. How to change:1.on Winbuilder, click on the DesktopBackground.script >Edit>Attachments>2. you will see setup.7z and winpe.7z files. You can change any image within those files.

In 64bit versions, there is not supported Joshua’s PE Loader because it is not supportive for 64bit yet. (Requested to Joshua, thanks to Joshua)And networking is not supported yetnow. But if you want to fancy about Internet, it is still OK, of course you need PENetwork Manager script from Holger. (note: need to change to be compatible with my scripts and comment all registry setting)MMC is supported in this version.

You have to check with Tools folder which is all needed files are in it.For mount error, check 0 – PreConfig.script under Build folder which is selected with 2 in boot.wim countainer and 1 in install.wim container.

Added:16/11/09Common mount error can be occurred by without installing FileManager(FltMgr).How to install FltMgrFor newly build, first put all the files in text file plus fltMgr.sys which I forget to mension.Secondly, right click on FltMgr\fltMgr.inf and click install and you may need to derect the file when windows ask.Do not restart your PC on this stage and finally right click on wimfltr.inf and click on install. After installing, you may need to restart your PC. Now you can start your project.Adding finished.=========================================================ImageX is needed for 64 bit version build.Desktop Background script error will occur without any reasons sometime. No worry, right click on the error Title Bar and click stop to end pop up. And re-run only the script manually.For consistent errors, you may need to restart your PC and run again that script only.And then run the following scripts(3 – PostConfig.script, 4 – Create ISO.script) manually so that you can save your time. (If you start from scratch, will take more your valuable time)

win7pe 32bit ---> If PEShell not selected, none of the shells opens. (on vmware & virtual box it simply comes to desktop without shell and than reboots, on real hardware it gives "win7pe.cfg not found" error). with PEShell works fine

A request:I am totally a noob on PE2 and PE3, can someone point me how to write script to add Rtlh64.sys netrtx64.inf to the build from source ???

Here is what i do in detail:*I take 2 files from a installed Vista x64 image i have (haven't touch for 2 years or more ) , Rtlh64.sys netrtx64.inf *I made a script for themExtractFile,%ScriptFile%,Folder,Rtlh64.sys,%TargetDir%\windows\system32\driversExtractFile,%ScriptFile%,Folder,netrtx64.inf,%TargetDir%\windows\inf*I added Penetwork x64 from holger (Add.script used)*I boot Win7PEx64--1st screen came saying hardware check on progress, than 2nd screen came success--3rd screen came "Now net drivers installing wait" , ........ no 4th screen came *I deleted penetwork.ini file which comes from penetwork packageI started penetwork.exenetwork found *I started firefox x64, successfully browsed around*Restart my computer, open my lovely opera and writing this topic ;)

ps: I deleted penetwork.ini because it was causing wi-fi search stuck (only can be killed by taskmanager (ex: processexp x64)). I guess reason of 4th screen not coming is the same.

Good news to hear that you succeeded network.
I deleted the next call to start PENetwork in batch.
Because it take a long time to finish. So you can't see the 4th Successfully installed PE Network screen.

But you can start manually as I previously described, right?
Any body tested with Vista 64 or 2k8 64?

yes, i only copy penetwork x64 manually to the build and execute inside Win7PEx64 (source win7), that is all

Before new success stories, I have some scripting requests to have compatible scripts, with Reasons:1)***Critical issue is, the api.script in Multi 7PE project can not use variables where another variable exists insideexample:unpack,files,%packedfile_%SourceArch%%,Truewhich is heavly used on many scriptshere is an script example http://livexp.boot-l..._10_Lite.script2)***api command Arch not exist on Multi 7PEs projectFor Arch work (as well as capi), 1 major thing required:Set,%TargetWOW64%,%SourceArch%,Permanentto line 29 of 0-preconfig.scripthttp://lancelot.winb...00911152139.rar

I am however having a little bit of trouble with the tools.
the text file that pops up is incredibly hard to read.
i pulled everything i could from the given website and i extracted all those fltmgr files from a xp sp3 source, I still cant get it working.

Could anyone please upload the tools? Im going for a win7pe x64 build if that makes any difference.

Thank You

You should describe the exact error then I can explain.Which part of the text file is difficult to read?Some tools are not allowed to upload so I didn't.Refer to Google is the best way to find out.

More good news,Just tested with Vista 64 and 2k8 64 , both booted fine and both have internet connection easly.

only win7pe 64 build needs me manually taskkill wpeinit.exe to make network established

can you show me, where (which script, how) can i disable only auto network search at boot ?????

Any screen shots will please to forum members. I use WinSnap3 x64 version for trial.I'd very much appreaciate if someone donate me this. I want to show all clear images.Or someone know free screen capture 64bit one??

I am thinking to do separately to launch every script(detect Hardware/NIC/....).BTW: Holger is re-creating PENetwork to be more efficient and faster.

Thinking to pre-installation drivers using peimg.exe/dism.exe but not at the moment will be later.

,,,can you show me, where (which script, how) can i disable only auto network search at boot ????? ,,,

Please wait a while, I'll let you know soon,

Do you test with DaRT? It is very easy with v.6.5.No need any reg key and working well.

Hello, and congrats to all of you for making progress in those excellent projects of yours!
I have one question, does this project supports the same shortcut commands as Win7RescuePE from Joshua?
Here is an example:
